ATLANTEL

Atlantel began business in the basement-apartment of owner, Glenn Murer. With helper Carman Brown, he personally sold and installed approximately 70 refurbished AT&T Merlin telephone systems to small businesses in the Atlanta area within the first year. Murer was very excited, believing the AT&T Merlin to be a truly great system. His enthusiasm led to learning the processes required to test and refurbish telephones and systems. As a perfectionist, his exacting standards translated into great looking and functioning refurbished equipment. In 1993, the focus began to shift from end-user sales to wholesale equipment sales and brokerage. Since Atlantel started out doing the same thing as our wholesale customers (selling to end-users), it was easy to understand their needs. One obvious necessity was to provide new-looking telephones that functioned properly and at reasonable prices. Working both sides of the fence proved to be an advantage. The combination of professionalism, high-quality and great warranty service resonated with customers, resulting in sales in excess of $100 million. Atlantel experienced new growth beginning in 2010 when Atlantel branded and set the bar for on-line sales in our industry with what became MyOfficePhone.com. The website was sold to Optus Inc in 2014. Optus also offers nationwide technical service and support to many Fortune 500 companies, providing on-site technical service for IT and telecom anywhere in the US or Canada. Visit them at myofficephone.com and optusinc.com. Now in our third decade of business, Atlantel is focused on IT and telecom equipment brokerage services. We buy out of service, retired and unwanted telecom and IT assets from Fortune companies and small businesses alike. Atlantel also continues to grow it's e-bay and Amazon stores offering much more than just phone equipment.
